Alor Khoje, Hashimukh Somaj Kallayan Songstha and Chittagong Grammar Community School all run active volunteering programmes, where children from underprivileged backgrounds are provided education to help create a positive change in their environment.

As the national carrier of the State of Qatar, the airline embraces its role as a corporate citizen in communities around the world, as evidenced by the airline's 'Educate a Child' partnership that aims to considerably reduce the number of children worldwide who lack access to education. True to its slogan "Moved by people", the cargo division of the airline also actively supports community wellbeing projects in its goal of giving back to the society.

Qatar Airways frequently works with Orbis Charitable Trust, Save the Dream (International Center for Sports Security) and many more social projects and community support charities.
